Assuming the center of gravity is over the rear axle, how would it make wheelies easier? Even if it's behind the axle, it's going to be by a small enough amount as to be largely irrelevant.
Only issues I see:
- Black paintjob will get hot in the summer.
- If driving in the rain, will the back wall with door stay water tight.

A useful pass-through window and a shady place to sit outside.

He may be hasseled for being over length. The way around it would be to tow a utility trailer the same length as the overhang, to ensure he has taillights to the back of the rig. Problem solved with extra space to carry a dirt bike or quad for exploring.

After experiencing a hail and rainstorm with 70+ mph winds directly into the rear of my camper without the rear door leaking, I'd have to say he is probably okay.

Based on the angle of the tie downs, best be gentle on the throttle and avoid steep hills.

Simplest answer is usually the correct one. I'd say photoshop.
Other than that it was mounted in reverse because it wouldn't clear the cab.

I would have had brackets made that allow using the front jacks to tilt the camper back out of the way of the cab. It just looks too strange the way it is even though it makes for cover in the event of rain.
